Are you looking for a way to bring tasks and assignments together in an event planner? Or do you want to manage a list of things, such as inventory or equipment lists? Bento provides library templates that create the fields to manage specific kinds of information. These templates also apply pre-designed themes to the form views.
By selecting the library template that most closely fits the type of information you want to manage, you create the library you need more quickly. After you create a library from a template, you can customize the form view by adding or removing fields and changing the theme. You can create all of the fields yourself with the Blank library. Bento creates the library and opens it in form view.
If you selected a template other than the Blank template, review the fields that are defined for your new library. You can get started quickly by creating a blank library, then add data to it as you would in a spreadsheet. If you already have information from another application that you want to include in Bento, then create a library and records in that library by importing your information.
Each library comes with its own icon. You can change the icon for any library you create. You can share your Bento database with up to five other Bento users at the same time over a local network in the same subnet. Sharing requires Bento 3 on each computer that is either sharing a database or looking for shared databases.
When you first start Bento, your libraries are set up ready to be shared. You then decide whether to share your entire database or only selected libraries. If a shared database is not allowed to be changed, users see italicized field labels and when they move the cursor over the fields.
If you make certain types of changes to the database while it being shared create fields, collections, or folders; delete folders; change field options or the database name , users are prompted to disconnect from the database and then reconnect to ensure they have the latest version.
To disconnect a shared database, click next to the shared database. You can turn off database sharing to prevent other users on your local network from seeing your database. If your computer is connected to other computers over a local network, you can look for databases that are being shared. You can require users to enter a password, called the Sharing Password, before they can view your shared items. This password is different from the Database Password. Password-protected shared databases are indicated by in the Libraries pane.
Users can access encrypted fields in shared databases by first entering the Sharing. Users can lock and unlock data in shared encrypted fields. An untitled folder is created in the Libraries pane above the currently selected library or folder. Note When you press Command-Delete, the records are permanently deleted from both the library and any collection or related data fields that displayed them.
Select the library and press the Delete key. When you press Delete, the library and all of its records are deleted. Any related data fields in other libraries based on this library are also deleted. With these libraries, you can manage contacts, events, tasks, and photos together, and display them as related records in other libraries in Bento. This chapter describes how to use these libraries to organize information about contacts, events, tasks, and photos, and how to add information from these libraries to your own libraries.
Even if the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto applications are not running, you see the data from these applications in Bento. Displaying the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto libraries is optional.
When you first start using Bento, these libraries are displayed by default. If you turn off the display of these libraries in Bento, their records no longer appear in Bento, but they still appear in the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto applications.
If you have related data fields based on the Address Book library, those related data fields are no longer displayed when you turn off the display of the Address Book library. If you have related data fields based on the iCal libraries, those related data fields are no longer displayed when you turn off the display of the iCal libraries. If you have related data fields based on the iPhoto library, those related data fields are no longer displayed when you turn off the display of the iPhoto library.
When you make changes to records in the Bento Address Book library, you are actually updating the records in the Address Book application. You can use the Bento Address Book library to edit data from any application or device that synchronizes with the Address Book application.
By displaying the Bento Address Book library, you add your contacts to Bento and keep your contacts up-to-date, whether you edit the information in the Address Book application or in Bento. If you delete a collection under the Address Book library, the associated Address Book group is deleted also.
Similarly, if you delete a group in the Address Book application, the associated collection under the Address Book library is deleted also. The Address Book library displays contact information from the Address Book application. You can use the records in the Bento Address Book library just like the records in any other library and collection in Bento.
The only difference is that changes in the Address Book library update information in the Address Book application. Welcome to ManualMachine.
